Pinocchio is the soundtrack to the 1940 Walt Disney film of the same name, first released on February 9, 1940. The album was described as being "recorded from the original soundtrack of the Walt Disney Production Pinocchio". According to Walt Disney Records, "this is the first time the phrase 'original soundtrack' was used to refer to a commercially available movie recording".[1]

The soundtrack won an Academy Award for Best Original Score. "When You Wish Upon A Star" won the 1940 Academy Award for Best Original Song.

In 2015, a Legacy Collection edition of Pinocchio was released.

The songs in the film were written by Leigh Harline and Ned Washington.

  2. "Little Wooden Head" – Christian Rub – 05:45
  3. "Give A Little Whistle" – Cliff Edwards & Dickie Jones – 1:38

Songs not used in the film

Songs written for the film but not used include:

Three of these songs, however, are used in a multi-record 78-RPM 1950 cover album of the songs released by Decca Records and conducted by Victor Young. Although Cliff Edwards appeared as Jiminy Cricket on the album, no one else from the film cast did. Soprano Julietta Novis, who sung Schubert's Ave Maria on the soundtrack of Disney's Fantasia, sang the song "Little Wooden Head", instead of it being sung by Geppetto. Other singers on the album included the Ken Darby Chorus and the King's Men.

Years later, Disneyland Records issued a true soundtrack album from the film.
